Dial-a-jet? Do these work? was created by tooocool49723
Hey I was cruising the intarweb and came across these little jobbies. The concept is sound but I dont know if I'd actually trust them to work, what do you all think?

Am I seeing that correctly where there is a needle/nozzle on the inside opposite of their Dial-jet?
That would indicate you have to drill/tap into your carbs right... :blink:
No thanks! Not going to drill into my new CR Specials, no way..... :laugh:
Now I'll happily drill into Plummens to test out, no prob!

from the looks of it, it seems like it would work, But what would you do with your old jet needle?
It looks like you might just remove your float bowl screw and let it run?
I would try it if i had 253 bucks layin around but schools got me whipped.....hahaha.

Sounds really cool, especially if you ride at different elevations, like me (I live in Reno which is in a big valley, but all the good motorcycle roads are up in the mountains). If ebay had one for my KZ650 I'd bid on it. I don't have the $240+ needed to buy it retail right now, however.
Hallelujah, the edit function is back!

Cory. I have a set of these I pulled off of my CR specials. If you want them you pay for shipping and you can have em. The guy I bought the CR specials off of ran them on the drag strip. I guess to get more fuel , but I'm not sure. I never ran them with the dial a jets so I dont have an opinion on their performance.
